presented the musical burlesque, Cinder-
ella" last evening. The regular members
of the company, some twelve or fifteen in
number, are admirably trained and there is
not an incompetent in the lot. Some of
them are remarkably precocious. Little
Stella May, for instance, is graceful crea-
tNe, acting and dancing with surpris-
ing and charming effect. Misses Martin,
HELEN and Stockmeyer are graceful, ready
witted, handsome and have both lyric and
dramatic ability of good order. So, too,
Master Beban is lad with remarkably
strong voice, and sings with feeling, and
Masters Gamble and Bates and little Miss
Waite are remarkably clever. Master
Gamble, especially, is natural comedian
Tommy Keirns, the leading low COM
edian of the troupe, is altogether
remarkable, for one SO young, in

were composed of local children, not nearly
so many as announced, but enough to fill
the stage well in the marches, dances and
groupings. There were many character

happily rendered songs and choruses.
These specialties," indeed, and notably
the character songs, were chief attractions

with the idea that they surpass all other
scenic effects, but attractive nevertheless,
and admirably adapted to entertain, while
they are entirely novel here. Miss Gray,
the chief of his pose artists, is graceful in
her posing and handsome woman The
scenes shown were pure in tone and chaste

again this evening, and probably be more
rapidly, so as to dismiss the audience at an
earlier hour. A first night is rarely fair
test, and it is reasonable to expect quicker
work tonight and more composure on the
part of the local little folks who take part.
Cutting ScRAPE.-Last evening about
seven o'clock, Chinese cutting affair
occurred on l street, between Second and

tematic manner proceeded to make mince
meat out of How Cham. officers were
soon on the scene, but the willy Joon was
nowhere to be found. The injured party
was taken to the Police Station, where he
| was found to have a cut on the hip about
four inches long, and another about three
inches about the nipple, neither of which

and Ash and taken before the injured man,

Herald says: An idea has got abroad that
the close season for deer began on the first
of this month. The impression is a wrong
one. The statute approved on the 9th of
last March says: Every person Who in
this State, between the 18th day of Decem.
Der in each year and the LIST day of July in
the following year, hunts, pursues, takes,
kills or destroys any male antelope deer or
